'This outstanding volume provides a timely and insightful account of the status of English language teaching and teacher education in the East Asian region. The contributors present a comprehensive and critical account of the issues posed by language education policies in the region and how these are addressed through curriculum and teacher education practices.' Jack C. Richards, University of Sydney 'Not just the 'four tigers' but other East Asian nations are facing the challenge to develop a language policy that meets global and local needs. This book, edited by a leading Hong Kong scholar, reviews and analyzes the problems faced and the pressure of hegemonic English.' Bernard Spolsky, Professor emeritus, Bar-Ilan University
